Generation and Detection of 170.49-Gb/s Single Polarization IM/DD Optical OFDM Signals Enabled by Volterra Nonlinear Equalization

We demonstrate the generation and detection of 170.49-Gb/s single-wavelength and single-polarization IM/DD optical OFDM signals using Volterra-based two-step nonlinear equalization. A line rate of 164.35-Gb/s is achieved after 2-km of fiber transmission.
